Calculation of sitemap space requirements on Mapping-Switches fails since OH 4.1.0

[mschlee (Martin)]

After I upgraded to OH 4.1.0 today I noticed that the Sitemaps now show an up to 3 column layout on the web browsers. This is very helpful since more information can be displayed on one screen if there is available space.

I noticed, however, that the space for Mapping Switches is not enough. The switch display is overlapping with the next displayed item which confuses the users:

If I make the browser window smaller I can force the display to a 2 column one and if I have the window a specific size the display is nearly ok:

But I cannot do this on the installed tablets which have a fixed full screen window.
Anything I can tweak to improve the display ?

This can be adjusted under Settings.

Yes, there is a setting to control how many columns to use. So you can restore old behaviour.

That being said I am also not satisfied with buttons overlapping on next elements when there is not enough place. For the future, I have the idea to switch to a buttongrid rendering for example when you have more than two of three buttons, buttons will then be rendered on additional lines.

Thanks, I reverted to the old behaviour this way. Will try the button grid next. Does it work w/ iPhone app ?

It has been implemented in the Android app but not yet in the iOS app I believe.

For your information, I implemented a fix for buttons overlapping:

[BasicUI] Show buttons on several lines when not enough place

[Lolodomo]

PR is now merged, so the fix is available in 4.2 snapshots.

Thanks for all your work. I don’t want to look ungrateful. However, since OH 4.2.0 I am not able anymore to put 5 or more options in a row although I make them short (such as 1 2 3 4 5), as you can see here:

It looks as if UI doesn’t allow the buttons anymore to get any smaller than that.

Everything worked well in OpenHAB 2 and 3 IIRC.

A new change was submitted to improve buttons rendering. In review process.
